This burger recipe-with-a-difference was given to us by a Swedish friend. It certainly got the thumbs-up in our tasting!

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

500g (1lb 2oz) minced beef
100g (4oz) gherkins, finely chopped
150g (5oz) cooked beetroot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1tbsp Dijon mustard
1 onion, finely chopped
2 egg yolks

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Season well. Divide the mixture and shape into 12 burgers – wet hands make the job easy. Brush both sides with a little oil and cook on the barbecue or a ridged griddle pan for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
